[PATCH] COPYING and copying.c
- To: gdb-patches at sourceware dot cygnus dot com

- From: Eli Zaretskii <eliz at delorie dot com>

The following is one of the gotchas with case-insensitive file names.
It got me puzzled for about 10 seconds when I saw Make trying to
compile COPYING.c into COPYING...
(It turns out Robert Hoehne already bumped into this while working on
GDB 4.18, but he ``handled'' it by commenting out the whole rule...
Ts, ts, ts ;-).
I hope this solution is acceptable. If not, please tell me how to
change it.

* Makefile.in (copying.c): Depend on copying.txt, not COPYING.
(copying.txt): New target, a link to COPYING.
